How IT Staffing Vendors Can Fill The Gaps In Your Project Team

For both small and large companies, staffing will always be a complicated business issue, especially in IT. One way to meet this challenge is through the use of IT staffing vendors. When appropriately used, IT staffing vendors can be a crucial asset to your corporate staffing strategy.

The 6 Ways Staffing Vendors Can Help Grow Businesses 

No Long-Term Commitment

With a staffing vendor, companies can bring on additional support without the worry of long-term commitment, unlike with a traditional hire. The flexibility this situation affords is especially valuable if the new hire is needed for only a short time. With a staffing vendor, once the project is over, there aren’t concerns about finding the employee a new position or role.

Flexibility to Fill in When Needed

Staffing vendors can be a terrific resource to supplement permanent staff. For example, temporary staff can be utilized to cover project staff when they are on maternity, paternity or medical leave. They can also be used if a member of your team needs to temporarily work with another project group and is unable to contribute to their existing group, or if the project team needs help to meet tight deadlines.

Expertise When You Need It, Not When You Don’t 

There are many cases where companies require specific expertise in-house that they don’t typically have. A staffing vendor who has access to niche talent can provide talent when it is needed. When the project is completed, talent is free to find a new position, while management doesn’t have to worry about placing them in a permanent role or the additional costs involved in letting them go.

A Strategy to Combat the Competitive and Changing Employment Market

A staffing vendor can be a great way to overcome the highly competitive tech employment market. With employment at historic levels, it can be hard to fill open, full-time permanent positions, especially as many IT professionals opt to participate in contract employment or alternative employment models. With this in mind, a staffing vendor can provide qualified staff on a temporary basis until full-time equivalents can be identified.

A Way to Grow a New Business Area or Offering

If a business is looking to expand into a new business area, supplemental staffing can be a game changer. The ability to bring in staff to work on a new program or project without disrupting current project teams can be the difference between success and failure. Additionally, with the lack of a long-term commitment, it allows a company to ‘fail fast’ and terminate a new offering quickly without much impact should the new offering prove not to be a good investment.
